LPC800 Series of Arm Cortex-M0+-Based MCUs
The LPC800 series enables a smooth transition from 8-bit to 32-bit architectures by providing increased performance, higher efficiency and access to intelligent peripherals that are easy to use and help you get to market faster.
FAQs
Is LPC800 an 8-bit replacement?
The LPC800 Series provides a 32-bit solution that makes it easy to move up from 8-bit with minimum disruption and cost. If you are looking to migrate from 8 or 16-bit microcontrollers you can use sample Code Bundles to jump start your design. These examples are also pre-installed in the MCUXpresso IDE.
What are the key applications for LPC800 Series?
The LPC800 series provides an entry-level backbone a wide range of embedded applications.
Typical applications include:
- Power and size-sensitive control and connectivity tasks
- Sensor gateways – connect to concentrate data from analog and/or digital sensors
- End-node connectivity, e.g. NFC, BT
- Capacitive touch, swipe and gesture sensing for HMI
- Basic motor control (e.g. fan control)
- Simple 8/16-bit replacements
- Entry-level products in Consumer, Industrial, Wearable and Gaming markets
- Thermostats and home environment monitoring devices
- Toys, models, action figures
- Home and building automation
- Industrial controls
- Lighting
- Server/rack monitoring
- Portable/Wearable fitness products

Does LPC800 offer an I3C communication interface?
Yes, the LPC860 family offers an I3C communication interface. Access this How to Use I3C in LPC860 application note to learn more about this peripheral.
What is a Switch Matrix design?
The LPC800 MCUs include a switch matrix design feature that allows developers to flexibly assign internal signals to external pins. Most digital functions can be assigned to any GPIO pins by the switch matrix. The switch matrix can be configured to movable or fixed-pin functions. You can use this feature to assign different functions to external pins according to your requirements using a single line of code or a single click in the configuration tool.
What is Pattern Match Engine (PME)?
To simplify serial communication requirements, the pattern match engine can be configured to generate interrupts from user-configurable Boolean operations on its 8 pins.
What kind of software and tools are provided for LPC800 Series?
The LPC800 Series is supported by MCUXpresso software and tools. It is as easy as ready, set, go.
- Begin with your LPCXpresso development board.
- Select your IDE of choice including MCUXpresso for Visual Studio Code , MCUXpresso IDE, IAR Embedded Workbench or Arm Keil MDK.
- Download software code and examples from our Application Code Hub or download 8-bit migration code bundles.
- Go! Plug in your board, update the device drivers, compile and run.
